Definitions
- the present invention relates to a digital data encode system and a water mark data inserting method for inserting water mark data in the digital data signal having a series of field data.
- Data encryption technique has been proposed as this kind of technique for preventing illegal copying.
- This digital data encryption technique is, for example, to enable it to reproduce the encrypted digital image data in only a reproducing system having a proper cryptoanalysis key when digital image data is encrypted.
- the conventional encryption technique has such a defect that if the encryption code is once broken, it cannot protect against the illegally copying thereafter.
- Water mark data is the special information to be embedded in digital image data itself in order to prevent the illegal use and copying of the digital image data. It includes, for example, information for authenticating the copyright ownership and judging the infringement of the copyright, and the copy protected information for preventing illegal copying itself.
- Such water mark data to be inserted in the digital image data includes two kinds of visible water mark data and invisible water mark data.
- Visible water mark data means such a special character, symbol, or other data to be inserted in the image that a person who sees the image with the water mark data combined therewith may perceive the water mark visually.
- This kind of visible water mark data would naturally cause the deterioration of the image quality. While, it is effective in visually appealing protection against illegal copy or illegal data fluid.
- a conventional visible water mark data embedding technique is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Publication Laid-Open (Kokai) No. Heisei 8-241403, “Digital Watermarking Free from Image Color Change” (hereinafter, referred to as the conventional technique 1).
- the water mark data inserting method of the conventional technique 1 when combining visible water mark data with the original image data, the water mark data is combined with the original image data in a way of changing only the brightness of the pixel corresponding to the non-transparent part of the water mark data without changing the chromaticities, of all pixels of the original data.
- the scaling value for changing the brightness component of a pixel is determined by the value of, for example, chromatic component, random numbers, and pixels of water mark data.
- the conventional visible water mark data embedding technique is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Publication Laid-Open (Kokai) No. Heisei 5-236424, “Information Embedding Method and Its Apparatus” (hereinafter, referred to as the conventional technique 2).
- the water mark data inserting method according to the conventional technique 2 comprises detecting means for detecting a region meeting a predetermined condition from image data, thereby to embed the water mark in every image data at the position corresponding to the region meeting the condition.
- the position for embedding the water mark depends on the content of the image. Therefore, it is very difficult to remove the water mark without much deteriorating the image quality.
- invisible water mark data means such special data to be inserted in the image that a person who sees the image with the water mark data combined therewith cannot perceive the water mark visually.
- This kind of invisible water mark data is embedded in the original image data in consideration of causing no natural deterioration of the image quality.
- invisible water mark data is preferable to visible water mark data under the condition that a water mark preferably exists outside of the image data to be protected.
- the water mark data inserting technique by use of an invisible water mark causes little image deterioration and when embedding special information enabling the identification of a writer as water mark data, it can specify the writer by detecting the water mark data even after illegal copying is performed.
- VTR Video Tape Recorder
- the technique of embedding the invisible water mark data in digital image there is, for example, a technique of embedding the special information as a water mark in the digital image at the least influenced portion to the image quality in the pixel data (for example, LSB (Least Significant Bit)).
- This kind of the conventional invisible water mark data embedding technique is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Publication Laid-Open (Kokai) No. Heisei 6-339110, “Image Information Transfer Method, Image Information Recording Device and Image Information Reproducing Device” (hereinafter, referred to as the conventional technique 3).
- the water mark data inserting method transmits the image signal together with the copyright information and the generation information overlapping each other, to the space other than the valid image space displayed on a screen of the image signal, and performs the generation restriction of the copy according to the copyright information and the generation information included in the received image signal at a receiver side.
- the invisible water mark data embedding technique is defective in that only the water mark data is easily removed from the image data with water mark data embedded therein, without deteriorating the quality of the original image data. For example, the information corresponding to the LSB of the pixel data will be lost by use of a low pass filter.
- the image compression processing aims to reduce the data amount on the whole by diminishing the information amount with respect to the least influenced portion to the quality in the pixel data. Therefore, the water mark data embedded in the least influenced portion to the quality in the pixel data will be lost in the image compression processing.
- the invisible water mark embedding technique has such a defect that it may be difficult to re-detect the water mark data in some cases.
- a technique of embedding invisible water mark data in a digital image as well as diffusing the water mark data into the frequency spectrum after frequency conversion of the image data (hereinafter, referred to as the conventional technique 4) is presented (refer to Nikkei Electronics p.13 (no. 660) 4.22.1996). Since water mark data is embedded in the frequency component of the image data to be processed according to the conventional technique 4, the water mark data is robust against the image compression processing and the image processing such as filtering, and the water mark data won't be lost. Further, random numbers according to the normal distribution are used as the water mark data, thereby preventing the interference of the respective water mark data even in the case of embedding a plurality of water mark data. Therefore, according to the conventional technique 4, it is difficult to destroy only the water mark data without much influence to the whole image data.
- the conventional technique 4 will be, hereinafter, described with reference to FIG. 12 .
- the water mark encode system according to the conventional technique 4 comprises, for example, discrete cosine transform (DCT) means 1210 , water mark data output means 1230 storing the water mark data 1231 , a water mark data inserting device 1240 , and inverse discrete cosine transform (inverse DCT) means 1250 .
- DCT discrete cosine transform
- inverse DCT inverse discrete cosine transform
- the water mark data detection according to the conventional technique 4 is performed in the following method, by way of example.
- the original image data and the water mark data candidate w(i) must be known values in the detecting method of the conventional technique 4.
- the image data with the water mark data embedded therein is converted into the frequency components by use of DCT or the like, the element values corresponding to f(1), f(2), . . . , f(n) having the water mark data embedded therein in the frequency band are defined as F(1), F(2), . . . , F(n).
- W (W(1), W(2), , W(n))
- w (w(1), w(2), . . . ,w(n))
- W (W(1), W(2), . . . ,w(n))
- W (W(1), W(2), . . . ,w(n)
- WD is the absolute value of the vector W
- wD is the absolute value of the vector w.
- the conventional technique 4 requires original image data and water mark data candidate w(i) in order to detect the water mark data as mentioned above. Therefore, it is effective for a writer owing the original image to detect any illegally-copied image data, however, a reproducing device of a terminal used by a general user, because of having no original image, cannot perform the detecting processing of the water mark data. Then, a further improved technique than the conventional technique 4 for terminal processing, especially MPEG system (hereinafter, referred to as the conventional technique 5) is proposed.
- original image is divided into blocks of 8 pixels ⁇ 8 pixels and the water mark data embedding and detection is performed by use of the block unit for processing.
- ⁇ is a scaling element and avg (f(i)) is a partial average obtained by averaging the absolute values of three points around f(i), for example, f(i ⁇ 1), f(i), and f(i+1).
- the processing later than the MPEG encode processing will be performed by replacing f(i) with F(i).
- detection of the water mark data will be performed in the following method.
- the data from the lowest frequency component is sequentially defined as F(1), F(2), . . . , F(n).
- the average of the absolute values of three points around F(i) is defined as the partial average avg (F(i))
- the total WF(i) of W(i) for one image is calculated for every i.
- W (WF(1), WF(2), . . . , WF(n))
- w (w(1), w(2), . . .
- WFD is the absolute value of the vector WF
- wD is the absolute value of the vector w.
- Insertion of a plurality of water mark data into one original image data can be adopted in order to attach a plurality of information such as writer information and copy protected information, to one image data.
- the conventional techniques 4 and 5 is defective in making the circuit size larger because of inserting a plurality of water mark data in one original image data and increasing the processing procedure.
- the conventional techniques 4 and 5 disclose a technique of inserting one water mark data in one original image data, however, with no consideration taken to the case of inserting a plurality of water mark data (for example, two water mark data) in one original image data.
- the conventional technique 6 detects an area having no deterioration of the image even if replacing the data at the peripheral area when reproducing the information, for example, an equal background portion, by use of the relationship between a series of frames, and converts the level of the area to be converted, so to embed particular information therein.
- the area with the identification data embedded therein is specified by use of the signal lacked portion and the conversion information, and corrected so as to reconstruct the image.
- the conventional technique 6 cannot embed the water mark information in all the frames, so that the frame with no water mark embedded therein is unable to protect against illegal copying. Since this technique is on the assumption that successive frames are of freeze-frame pictures and that there is no change on the successive frames, an area for embedding the water mark data cannot be specified in the moving images of violence action, thereby making it impossible to embed the water mark data therein.
- the conventional technique 7 converts image signals by frequency and embeds the information having the frequency signal lower than the frequency band of the image signal after frequency conversion.
- a high pass filter By the use of a high pass filter, the original image is taken out and the identification data embedded therein is taken out by the use of a low pass filter.
- the conventional technique 7 embeds the water mark data in the lower frequency portion in the frequency band after frequency conversion of the image data, the water mark data can be easily removed by use of a high pass filter.
- a filter cannot remove the water mark, but when inserting a plurality of water mark data, it cannot help deteriorating the image quality.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a digital data encode system and a water mark data inserting method capable of inserting a plurality of water mark data in one original image data.
- Another object of the present invention is, in addition to the above object, to provide a digital data encode system and a water mark data inserting method capable of inserting a plurality of water mark data in one original image data in the circuit of the same size as that of the conventional digital data encode system.
